Seahawks sign lineman as Butler heads to IR

No surprise today as the Seahawks inked offensive lineman Paul Fanaika, most recently of the Cleveland Browns practice squad, to replace injured receiver Deon Butler on the active roster.

Butler was placed on injured reserve after breaking his leg late in Seattle’s 40-21 loss to San Francisco on Sunday.

Fanaika was drafted in the seventh round by Philadelphia in 2009 out of Arizona State, and also spent time with Washington last season. The Browns claimed him off waivers in June, waived him in September, then signed him to their practice squad again the next day.
